Whats wrong with Emerald glazers? The game is pretty good, but i don't think its worth 250$
>>
>>59237831
Nothing to do with how good the game it, it's all fake market regulation by scalpers and zoomers trying to play stockmarket
Most people who buy these aren't even Emerald fans, they are "collectors" who never played the game
People who actually played and enjoyed obviously play their own copy and/or emulate
>>
>>59237831
Why would you even buy this piece of junk when pirating is free. I feel like this is just millenial consoomers wanting to have a physical product to prove how dedicated of a consoomer they are to TPCi
>>
>>59237912
Why would millennials buy Emerald? They own it already
>>
>>59237919
Because after pokemon stopped being cool when they were kids and they got bullied for liking it they probably either got rid of it or lost their copies before they got into their nostalgiafaggotry era in their 30s
>>
>>59237885
The thing is how many selling per month

3DS pokemons are selling 300 time a month at 40$
Emerald is selling the same, at a 250$ price tag (x7-x8 the pre covid price)

This is completely nuts. Most older games done a x2/x3, but Emerald done a x9
>>
>>59237922
No one throws away games just cause they got bullied for liking it lol
>>
>>59237927
U dumb or just retarded? That’s not what I said but ok
>>
>>59237926
All third versions sold less than the first two so there's just less copies around. Less supply, slightly higher demand (it's "better than RS"), price goes up, simple economics anon
>>
Damn I was just thinking the other day how I'd like to get a boxed Emerald.
>>
>>59237928
He's probably just not a brown third worlder like you.

$250 today isn't even that much

???
genuinely how stupid and obnoxious are you?

Get a rom and an emulator.
Problem solved.

Could you be more soulless?

>>59238219
sorry nobody's checking for bw2 copies lil bro
>>
>>59238289
Why are you sorry for that? It doesn't really have anything to do with your list of copes.
>>
>>59238296
it has everything to do with your cope within your rejection of the list of reasons my game is desirable and yours isn't

you're quite obviously a seething zoomer, which doesn't make sense so you already have oras with your precious p/s split so what's your problem?
>>
>>59237926
Wasn't HG/SS the same way for a while?
I guess in that case there's also the Pokewalker which many people lost. Emerald doesn't even have that excuse.
Soldering in a new battery to fix the real time clock could add to the price, but that would apply to RS as well, no?
One could argue that Emerald is the definitive version of Hoenn and fewer copies were sold than for RS, but that applies to any third version (Crystal, Platinum, etc.), not just Emerald.

Your game? I didn't know developers posted here.
>>

You may have suffered some kind of brain damage as a kid.

The GBA was a way more niche console than the DS, so of course Pokemon would have the most sales on the DS.
I say this as someone whose second favorite region is Hoenn (Unova is my favorite).
It's not like normie opinions matter that much anyway. The Hoenn, Alola, and Unova games have the least sales overall while tiny KANTOOO and hallway region Galar have the most.

Sorry. I meant most sales on the GBA.
>>
>>59237922
I got bullied for it, but I was too autistic to correlate that me losing favor in school was due to my obsessive attachment to an increasingly 'uncool' hobby, so I just decided the kids at school simply became cunts and I didn't have to care what they thought anyway.
>>
>>59238992
did you also collect cards and keep them or you were only into the videogame?
>>
>>59237831
>>59237912
the people buying are doing it so they can dump their own ROM and not be accused of piracy
>>
>>59237831
this is what money laundering looks like retard

>2nd most interesting plot story
I always knew Tiny Courage, Big Thanks was the best Pokémon lore of all time. Just helps to cement Marley’s place as best girl.
>>
>>59237831
Just "investor"fags. Emulate if you actually want to play it.
>>
>>59239000
With Pokémon, I only ever played the games. I did collect Yu-Gi-Oh cards, though, as well as occasionally buying PR Megazords, Bionicle, and Transformers. Only people who came to my house knew about those, though, and those people never bullied me.

Just as an aside, I knew from my early teens that I would never be socially on par with everyone else, so I never harbored any delusions that I was the normal one.
